THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER REX LAST mfl TODAY (With several notable contributions the screen already ‘accredited to g_nel Barrymore: has without %‘ i3’ finest’ performance to t a uub for the: Garde drama in “The Devil’s ieh. opened:at. the Rex /night an® held the au- dience enthralled from the beginning of the first reel until ‘the final fade- out. That Lionel is the most versa- tile of the. illustrious Barrymore- Drew family is demonstrated by his acting in this remarkable photoplay. which is-'based on the well known work of W. B. Maxwell. His facial expressions. in the portTayal of the part of William Dale, 2 man of un- controllable témper and passions, who rises himself from the humble stage of a lowly gardner to a power in the community, is a revelation of unsur- passed histrionic talent. He is ably supported in the leading feminine role by his wife, Doris Rankin, who has the part of Mavis, an upper ser- vant in the household of Lord Barra- dine, The photoplay, which is an Asso- ciated First National release, was produced by Whitman Bennett and directed by Kenneth Webb, two rising geniuces of the silent drama, to whom the public man confidently look for great achievements if their latest ac- complishment is to be taken as a cri- terion. “OFFSHORE PIRATE” AT REX THEATER—SUNDAY “The Oftshore Pirate,” a Metro spe- cial production, starring adorable Vi- ola Dana, comes as the feature attrac- tion at the Rex theater on Sunday for a run of two days. Opinion in other cities where this THIS WEEK’S VA]iDEVm ~PROGRAM AT GRAND TONIGHT Thomas-ahd Wilson, #The Ginger Snaps,” a lively pair of colored com- edians, open the regular: weekly vaudeyille show at the Grand theater |~ tenight, ' wvith rapid comedy talk, songs and some peppy. step-dancing. Migs Wilson displays some beautiful gowns and a fine voice, while Mr, Thomas is « comic of rare abilities and makes a hit with his song “He’s in the Jail House Now.” Ruth rage and Co., are billed as ‘“The Novelty Girl” and with banjo assisted by Lou Ruben in a scenic, electrical and in- strumental extravaganza, featuring special scenery, and’lighting effects. Banjo numbers, and songs are also in- troduced. Budd Schaeffer is a comedian of the real “nut” type and the original way he has of entertzining has au- dience amuses both the grown ups and the children, The Omega Trio close the bill in “Omegaisms,” which are for laugh- | ing purposes only. Something out of the ordinary that must be seen to be appreciated. “White Youth” with Edith Roberts is the photoplay which will precede the vaudeville at both the afternoen performance at 2:30 and the evening performanses at 7:30 and 9:15 to- day only. HOBART BOSWORTH IN GREAT OUTDOOR PICTURE Hobart Bosworth, brawny, brainy fighter that he is. nearly meets his match, in the Assotiated Producers newest special starring Hobart Bos- worth at the Grand theater Saturday and Sunday, where J.

Piratical tactics in Ar- dita’s spruce yacht bring about a se- ries of thrilling escapades, ending in a reversal of the intriguer’s hopes, and the ushering in of new ones. aldemar Young adapted the story and Dallas M.~ Fitzgerald directed. John Arnold turned the camera crank, and A. F. Mantz designed the art interiors and effects. Miss Dana is supported by an able cast, including Jack Mulhall, Edward Jobson and Edward Cecil. “A WESTERN ADVENTURER” AT THE REX SATURDAY A stunt never before attempted in moving pictures and we doubt if it will ever be attempted again, is suc- cessfullly put over in *“A Western Adventurer.” In the stunt three peo- ple were injured, an airplane wreck- ed and a horse killed. In attempting to escape, Buck Stanton mounts his horse on top of an airplane, which takes the horse and rider up 500 feet in the air. The sheriff and his posse, in pursuit, shoot and wound the horse, who loses his balance and he and the rider plunge down 200 ‘feet. A half dozen cameras were used, sta- tioned at various places to catch the scene, and some wonderful and start- ling effects were obtained. Picking a man out of the saddle with the horse going full speed and | dropping him into the saddle on an- | other horse going at high speed di-| rectly behind is a stunt that will give| you a thrill. “THE POINT OF VIEW” AT THE ELKO THEATER TONIGHT Many persons can look at a beau- tiul landscape and see nothing but secrawney trees, a waste of blue sky and a patch of water that they know it wet and possibly, if one locked closely, dirty; while another sees in| the same landscape all the wonders of ‘the universe, the tender touches of the master of all artists and a glory of color and beauty that holds them spellbound. It is all a matter of ! viewpoint. In “The Point of View,” which s | on view at the Elko theater tonight also tomorrow, Saturday, matinee: and evening, starring Elaine Ham- merstein, Marjory 'Thorncroft looks atjlife through glasses of false pride.

B e Lost Sunday*Dinner by Mistake. Changing cars in midseason ended as disastrously for a real estate dealer as changing horses in midstream. The dealer has ridden for several years in a car of kather anclent vintage. Re- cently, he bought a new car of the | same make. Saturday night he drove his new' car to the city market. He parked it beside an old car. EHe bought a bushel of -apples, a big roast and a week's supply of vegetables. Probably it was force of habit, his friends say in explaining the cou:se- quences. He placed his purchases in the old car.” Then he returned:to the stall to add turther to his supply. On returning he discovered his mistake, The old car had been driven away,! carrylng his Sunday dinner and his week's supply of vegetables.—Kansas City Star. State Flower of Colorado. The columbine, cotnmonly called the honeysuckle, is the state flower of Colorado. Although a native of Europe and Asla, it is now found throughout the United States and far into Canada. Lovers of the columbine have endeavored to make it the na- stional flower. FRECKLE-FACE Now Is the Time to Ged Rid of These Ugly Spots Do you know how easy it is to re- move those ugly spots so that no one will call you freckle-face? Simply get an ounce of Othine— double strength, from your druggist and a few applications should show you how easy it is to rid yourself of freckles and get a beautiful com- plexion. The sun and winds of | March have a strong tendency to bring out freckles, and as a result more Othine is sold in this month. Be sure to ask for the double strength Othine, as this is sold under guarantee of money back if it fails to remove the freckles.—Adv.

Fights—Thrills Galors IS a good thing that weddings prove inspiring to designers, for, of all occasions, they demad most at the hands of milliners. But outfitting a wedding procession, is pure joy to artistic souls, Here they may be as pleturesque as they please; no other hats give them so much latitude in the choice of style and use of color; none are so advantageously placed. The hats from which the mother and other relatives of the bride are to muke their choice must proyide dis- tinction and brilliance in headear. For the Enster wedding this year, the array of hats is very literally bril- liant. Millinery fabrics and novelties have multiplied opportunities for the designers, uand thelr imaginations fairly dance to the music of novel ma- “terials’ and of ribbons, laces, flowers. In the group of four hats pictured there are two that will make a good choice for‘the mother of the bride or any other of her matronly relatives, who ave on the sunny side of sixty. One of them, at the top of the group, Is of. brilliant black straw with a dangiing fringe of cellophane orna- ments ahont the brim edge. This isa Psychic Too Much for Her. “I do’ wish this psychic, or what- ever-you-call-it fad was over,” sald a reader. She put down a popular pub- lication., “Why, when the dog used to snore under the couch, or some naughty boy played tick-tack on the wjndows, or the potatoes took a little slide down in their bin in the cellar, the entire faw- Ily knew at once what the noise was and calmly went about their business. Now they say mysteriously, ‘Hark, what’s that? and we all go to, listen- ing as if we expected to see an appa- rition. Call it your ‘subconscious self® or a ghost that makes every slight disturbance in the house and you're sure to be jumpy, and I for one will be glad when the psychic business is passed and we ascribe ordinary’ rea- gons to ordinary noises once more.” The “Green Mountain Boys.” The “Green Mountaln Boys” was a name assumed by a Uody of soldiers from Vermont in the Revolutionary war. They captured Fort Ticonderoga at the battle of Bennington. They were organized originally by Ethan Allen to oppose the claims of New York to the territory of Vermont. The Green Mountain Boys were the first to ask that Vermont be regarded as a state, This was hot granted until 1701, when Vermont was admitted as the fourteenth state. i i e 1R NoT o F oy, Prosident Obregon of Mexico has given his sanction to bull fighting by appearing one Sunday afternoon when Rodolfo Gaona and Ernesto Pastor fought jointly. He occupied a ring- slde seat. When Pastor, playing the last bull, made what appeared to be a death thrust, the President arose to leave and the band immediately struck up the national anthem. The bull, however, was not dead and start- ed to charge. At the sound of the an- them he stopped in his tracks, lowered his head, and with Pastor standing at | rigid attention not three feet from the | bull’s horns, the hymn was completed.
